J The World’s Market at Michigan’s Door!

A Glimpse at What the Proposed Great Lakes to Ocean Route Will Mean '

F PLANS which are being rushed to
completion are not blocked by selfish
and Short-sighted easterners, the beginning
of a project which is destined to link the

Great Lakes with the Atlantic ocean will soon

be under way. '

Who has not wondered as he stood 0n the
deck of the great ships which plow. our great
fresh-water inland seas, why it was that he
was cut off from the seas by only a narrow
stretch of rapid-s, or the limitations of a
Welland canal? ' *

Why should the farm and factory products
of the great central west be leadedaboard
freight cars in tiny quantities, carried miles
over mountains andlthrough valleys, unload-
ed at New York, Philadelphia or Boston and
lightered to ocean going ships, most of which
are smaller than the great barges which carry
the. freight ofthe great lakes?

Compared with the advantages of the Pan-
ama canalto the people of the United States,

this link in our transportation system should i

have been built first; had it been, the great
war might have ended many months before
it did.. ‘ .

' Advantages to Michigan

We hope we are no more than humanly
selfish, but we cannot help but point out to
the farmers of Michigan and the states which
have ports on the Great Lakes, the tremend-

.ous advantages which will accrue from this

saving in carrying charges. From Liverpool
to Ho‘ng Kong the ports of the world will be
at Michigan ’s door, at least for nine months
out of every year, and wheat, beans, potatoes
or apples loaded at South Haven, Bay City

to the Business Farmers of Michigan

 

 

T DETROIT, July 22d, 23rd and

24th. will be held the Great Lakes-
St. Lawrence Tidewater Congress, at
which it is hoped to bring to a head the
many years of conscientious endeavor
on the part of those who have been ad-
vocating a direct ocean outlet to the
Atlantic.

Cértain Eastern states because of
their important ocean ports have begun
an active opposition to this great for-
ward step, selfishly they are taking the
position of the dog-in-the-manger and
seeking to stop progress.

With the railway situation as it is
today the gross error of trying to force
the great agricultural and manufactur-
ed products of the central west through
the small end of the Atlantic port fun-
nels has been only aggravated.

We are happyto voice, we believe, the
earnest prayer of every business farmer

 

 

 

 

in Michigan and the central/west for the
early completion of this
great project.

   

  

or Detroit, can go direct without a transfer
to compete with the products of every land.

At the present time, says Hugh J. Hughes
in the Review of Reviews, when a bushel of
wheat starts forward on its journey to Eur-

ope its ordinary route from the plains of
North Dakota or Saskatchewan is to one
of the great wheat-receiving terminals on
Lake Superior, and thence by boat down the
Lakes to Buffalo. At Buffalo it is lifted out
of the boat into an elevator, and transferred
to cars that carry it to the Jersey City water-
front in New York harbor. There it is light-
ered to a tramp steamer bound for Liverpool.
“Now this is the all—important fact to con-
sider: That the cost of unloading the bushel
of wheat at Buffalo, plus the cost of rail haul
to Jersey City, plus cost of reloading onto
the ocean~going steamer, is fully one-half of
the entire cost of transportation from Duluth
to Liverpool. Another curious fact in this
connection is that when the wheat arrives at
Jersey City it is farther away from Liverpool
than when it left the elevator at Buffalo!
Half the incurred freight bill is spent in
moving the wheat backward instead of for-
ward to its port of destination. I

“Since this cost is, in normal times, from
ten to twelve cents, it follows that about five
cents per bushel could be saved if we could
do away with the land haul, and proceed di-
rect on our journey by boat. And since the
demand in Europe sets the price at which our
wheat sells in competition with the export
wheat of the rest of the world, this five cents
saved would be saved to the wheat—grower.

“When Wheat is selling around $2.50 a.
bushd‘, five cents 0n the bushel may not ap-
pear as a matter of importance; but there
have been times, and they may readily come
again, when this margin of five cents net
would determine (Continued on page 11)

STATE DAlBl‘JdENS’ MONK}
July 13th and 14th are the dates
chosen for a State Dairymens’ picnic
at Gttawn Beach and J enisen Park,
a short distance from Holland on
the shores of Lake Michigan and
Black Lake, under the auspices o!
the Michigan Allied Dairy Associa-
tion, an organization embracing all
phases of production, manufacture
and distribution of milk and. hill];
products in Michigan. The dates
are especially timed to suit best the
season and also when dairymen and
others engaged in the dairy industry
in Michigan will be the last busy-

It is planned to make this a two-
day vacation aflair and elaborate.
preparations are in progress design-
ed for the amusement, comfiort and
instruction of those attending. U’n-
ique contests between the several
units all the organization will be
staged. Plans are also in‘progress
to obtain the presence of several
prominent speakers for both- days
among whom will be Mr. N. P. Bull,
of Lansing. President of the, Michi—
gan. Milk Producers’ Association and
Mr. Milo D. Campbell, of Goldwater,
President of the National Milk Pro—
ducers’ Association, and a, candidate
for governor on Republican ticket-

The picnic will be unique in that
it embraces both producers and man-
ufacturers of dairy products. Michiu
gan is fast developing into one of
the ioremost diversified dairy states

the Union. Practically ever: known

variety of dairy products are now
manufactured Within her ~ borders,
and the industry is: fast'forging
ahead as a state known for its num-
erous herds of pure bred animals.
The industry is regarded as the back-
bone of Michigan agriculture and al-
ready from the standpoint of dollars
and cents is exceeded only by a few
other farm products in value, and
one purpose at the.  un-
der whose auspices the picnic. is to
be hold, is to make it second to none
through tile principle of co—opérative
effort between everybody interested
in the dairy industry, and which
from the standpoint of the essential

-toodelemcatnintlepmdmtsotm

cow, would include everybody.

thlLE MARKET STAPLE

Compact, block-y males at good
proportions, with good’ life and qual-
ity, are selling quickly and profitab-
ly, no matter what their size. The
top» prices go for mules standing 15.3
hands "and weighing 1,200 to 1,250
pounds. The market. for them is as
staple as [or wheat and corn.

Farmer producers are selling or-
dinary mule colts at weaning time at
prices ranging from $65 to $125, be—
fore incurring any appreciable ex.—
pense for feed. At three. years, the
mule standing 15.3 hands, weighing
1,250 pounds, easily brings from two
to three hunde dollars; and at five,
a big sugar mule; commands five

hundred dollm or sometimes more.

Norcdoles there seem to be any risk
to rai‘singrthem. Mule colts are hardy
and are not subject to blindness,
sidebones. or other . unsoundnesses
common to homes. They are also
capable of self protection from the
time. they stand oniour legs until
they retire from active service via
burial.

D. E. Van Pelt, a tarmer near
Shared, Ion makes good, use at
their marketability. He says: “I
takeadmtagoatthe tact mum
heaviest demand for mules comes at
a time when I can spare then. I
buy eight big mining‘mules in wint-
er, out. of mu, tor about $450 a
poi-.1, to» do my spring work. When
the busy season is over, I sell them
3:13.500 to $550 a pair. Then. a little
before I sell these mine males, I buy
eight big mare mules {or the sugar
trade. I buy them thin at about
$450, or $475. About January first,
I sell: them. Last spring (1919) I
bought two pair at $500? and» $550
and sold them in January (1920)
for a total of $1.790. They did sum—
mer and fall work and made me a
profit of $550 besides."

Your paper is a good one, fearless
and progressive: when the farmers
buy or build their milk canning and
distributing factory and also the best
sugar factory they will be making a
great . jump in progress.—7Albert
Spencer, Alcnm County.

FBENCHDRAIRAGS IN MICHIGAN
By-WKHNB‘E PALMER '

A novel test of vertical drainage
was tried last October on the farm
of Henry Palmer, Manchester, Mich.

There was an oval pond in one of

his fields which could not be drained .

by. drinking because the. slope of the
land ofered no outlet. We decided
to try an experiment we. had read
about in one of the. farm papers.

With an 8' it. earth auger, we put
down a bore hole eight net deep at
the point where the.water was deep:

feet deep It was the aim to get the."
eight foot hole down to within about
three inches of the bottom of the
layer of clay, or in other words to
within three inches of the pervious
gravel stratum- This was accom—

In each of the three holes Iva

charges were connected together in

The sink holes made by the‘blasts
have been carefully watched to see
whether they would keep the pond

Washington sent out a public state

“ of the largest cities in the Uni-ted
States. The population of the Mich-
igan metropolis was given at 993,—
73! which means an advance of
113.4 per cent during the past 1-0
years as Detroit’s population in 1910
was 465,768. This rate «I increase

onds. Chicago being the only city to
show nearly as rapid an advance.
The Illinois city went from 503,001)
in 15880 to 1,D99,850 in 1890. its
percentage was 118-5, just a shade
above the one now made by Detroit.

Detroit Census Sensational

Detroit has accomplished in the
last halbscore of years what it took
New York and Philadelphia 3 score
and a hall? to do and Eastern [9&-
pers say “Detroit’s growth is nothing
short or sensational, but wlmt it
would have been if it “hadn’t become
the auto industry center is only a
matter of conjecture.”

The Board of Water Commission-
ers of the “Auto City” estimate
““Greater Detroit” has .a population
of 1,200,001). By “Greater Detroit"
they mean including all territory in-
side the city limits, as Highland
Park, Grosse Point, Hamtramck,

"River Rouge, Oakland, Ecorse and

some small scattered settlements,
all of which are independent cities,

 

mm and villages within the limit-
of Detroit. '

"The unprecedented growth of De-
troit and environs during the [at de-
mde primarily is due to the anus—
ing growth or the motor car indus-
try, in which the city has been all-
ed upon to furnish the world with 70
per cent of the motor vehicles pro-
duced,” says the Detroit Journal.

Another factor that attracts tho
people is the high wages. Detroit
workmen receive higher wages than
is paid in any other industrial cent;-
er in the country thus making con-
tented workmen. and their wages am
so high that the largest majority of
them own their own homes, but the
 is increasing so inst at
present that houses cannot be built
fast enough. The housing problem
is the only thing that will hinder the
city’s growth.

Banks have played a big plrt i.
the growth of the city as they 
ed the automobile industry when i
was in its "infancy.

The Next 10 Yeas

What will Detroit’s .censans_be at
the end of the next decade? 780m.
men predict it will again double.
Several plants under headway already

should work wonders in that direc-
tion. . .
One or these ls the “Great Lake:
to Ocean Route."

Another project, of which privatu
financing is already in sight would
be the building of a $28,000,003
bridge over the Detroit river. T1111
would make Detroit the leading er-
port gateway Irom this country to
Canada.

Another factor would be the com-
pletion of the Pennsylvania rail-
road’s improvement which will open
a road for tramc from the South and
East.

Also several big concerns are
planning large plant expansions in
the next few years. '

Then is no question as to whether
Detroit’s growth means much to the
farmers of Michigan. It means
thousands of dollars in their p(u....e.s
because it provides an immediate
market for all of Michigan’s farm
produce, thus assuring the producer:
a higher price than if the products
were sold to dealers who must ship
most 01? it outside of the state. “While
the growth of the Michigan meme~
olis hurts the farming industry oi
the state some by inducing the boy]
and girls to go to the city there is a
time coming. especially if the “De-
troit to Canada” bridge is built and
the “Great Lakes to Ocean Route” in
established, when farming will “be
profitable enough to not only keep
the young people at home "but many
city cousins will turn farmward.

5 OUTH DAKOTA bankers are prac-
tically a unit’ in endorsing the
state rural credits system which

has been in operation in that state
since 1917. During a week recently
spent in South Dakota, every bank-
er with whom I came in contact with
‘ spoke freely in favor of "the - plan
under which the state loans money
on farm land.

“I have watched the operation of
the law in our county very closely,
and am convinced that every state
where agriculture is an important in-
dustry should have a similar law,"
said R. A. Bielski, head of the Bielski
Farm Loan mpany of Philip, South
Dakota. That statement in substance
was repeated over and over again

I by bankers all the way from Pierre
to the Minnesota line. In addition,
I have a score or more of letters from
.bankers in the part of South Dakota
west of the Missouri River, all of
them enthusiastic for the state loan
system.

I want to emphasize the banki'
r

support of the South Dakota ru
credits system. because bankers have
always opposed to state loan systems.
Bankers in states where sta-te loan
systems are under consideration are
protesting vigorously against their
establishment. Back in 1915, 1916,
and 1917, the bankers of South Da—

' kota were protesting also. They
said that it would be an unwarrant-
ed interference with the business of
loaning money for the state to loan
money on the land. Some of them
even said that it would compel them

' to shut up shop. Ninety-five per cent

I of the bankers of South Dakota, I am
convinced, believe that the state rur-
al credits law is one of the most for-
ward looking pieces of legislation on
the statute books.

Here and there in South Dakota
I was told by Claude M. Henry, rur—
al credits commissioner, are bankers
who do not yet see the desirability
- of the state .loan system. “I do not
see how it is possible for us to op-
erate of $24,000,000 business, as we
have done, without tramping upon
somebody’s toes,” Henry says. “The
bankers who are opposed to the sys—
tem now are largely those whose bus-
iness is that of loan brokers rather
than commercial bankers. A few
perhaps do not like us because we
may not have loaned as much on
land for their clients as they thought
_ we should; the amount we loan is
of course determined by our exam-
iners, and if they report that land is
not worth the loan wanted, we turn
it down. A very few may be opposed
to us for political reasons."

Bankers to Handle State Loans

To make the evidence stronger
that South Dakota bankers are be-
hind the state loan system, let it be
known that more than'90 per cent
of the loans are handled through the
banks. The usual procedure when a
South Dakota farmer wants a state
loan is for him to ask his banker to
get it for him. The bank makes the
application, gets the abstract of
title, and attends to practically all
of the details; some banks charge $10
for this, some $25, and others lesser
amounts, but it is much less than
they used to get as commission for
placing loans.

One banker at Redfield, S. D., told
me that he actually lost $3,000 in
commissions last year because farm-
ers had borrowed money from the
state instead of borrowing it from
his bank. He added cheerfully that
he thought he was making money
by losing that commission, because of
the greater chance for better farm-
ing. and farm prosperity under the
long—time state loans.

“That $3,000 is our investment in
the future prosperity of this commun-
ity," he said. “Don’t think for a.
minute that we’re losing permanent-
ly. We’ll get, it all back, with a good
rate of interest added, in the increas-
ed prosperity which will result from
farms handled by men who own
them.” That man has the reputa-

" tion'of‘being‘ a long4headed banker,

from the opinions expressed in agree:

ment with him.

“The state loan system on the
whole has proved very satisfactory,"
said W. H. McMaster of Gayville,
near Yankton. cashier of the Secur-
ity State bank; “Over $20,000,000
has been loaned direct to farmers at
a cheaper rate than could have been
obtained from eastern loan compan—
ies, and the loans on the average are
larger than could have been procur-
ed from other sources. Farmers are
able to get their money with little
delay and without the payment of
any additional commission. In my
judgment, it works the greatest ben«
efit by stabilizing the rate of inter-
est and compelling outside parties to
do away with arbitrary rules. The
eastern loan companies, for example,
drew a line across the state and
would not lean more than a small
amount west of this line, though land
values were constantly increasing.”

The testimony of F. E. Swartout of
Gann Valley, cashier of the Bank 01!
Buffalo county, is similar. “The sys-
tem is good for the farmers and for
the state as a whole,” he says. “It
has worked a wonderful help to our
farmers in the reconstruction period,
when assistance was needed so much.

The system has worked very success-
fully. I think, however, that there
should be a limit to the extent that
the state will issue bonds and I think

that it is the intention of our board '

to discontinue the sale of bonds when
the amount outstanding is sufficient-
ly large.” v .
Lower Interest Rates

to M. G. Carlisle of the Roberts In-
vestment Company of Brookings, has

hopes of thosflo promoted and es-
tablished it. f'It opened a line of
credit not hitherto available for the
farmers and stockmen at a low rate
and on long time," he says "This
is especially true of the region West
of the Missouri River. There the
loan rates was eight to 10 per cent
in most "cases, and on five years'
time. The state loans were at 5 1-2
per cent for 30 years with amortiz-
ed payments. The saving in rate
was substantial, but the great ben-
efit was in the long terms. Farm-
ers now make their plans well into
the future with a note coming due
staring them in the face. Many men
just starting in were enabled to buy
land. I am satisfied that it is safe
to loan a reliable man the limit (70

HIS is tuberculosis and is a dis-
Tease of great importance to the

poultryman or farmer, not‘only
on account of its destructiveness to
his flock, but also on account of its
relation to the health of himself and
family. There are four principle
types of this organism. The one
most commonly affecting man is des—
ignated as the human type. .The one
peculiar to cattle is designated as the
bovine type, and the one peculiar to
fowls the avian type, and there is
still another type of the tuber‘cule
bacillus which affects fish and other
cold—blooded animals. While there
are some differences in the shape of
the organisms grown for a consider-
able time in.the various animals and
some differences when grown in art-
ificial media after separation, yet the
type peculiar to any of the warm
blooded animals, will grow in any
other warm blooded animal, that is,
the types are interchangeable, which
means that the avian type, (the type

affecting fowls) may cause tubercu-

losis in man and the human type
may cause tuberculosis in birds. It
has been found that a large percent-
age of hogs fed swill from houses
where tubercular persons have ex-
pectorated into it, became tubercular,
and when slaughtered, there is a con-
siderable loss from condemnation of
those badly affected. Tuberculosis
among chickens is rare in some por-
tions, and is very common in other
localities in the United States. It
was first reported in this country in
1900 and received but slight atten-
tion until 1903. It also occurs. in
turkeys, pigeons, and pheasants and

idly through the flock, as birds are
continually picking feed from the
ground and floors where contamin-
ation is sure to have taken place.
They may also contract the disease
by the introduction of a tubercular
bird in the flock. Tuberculosis
among wild birds has been mention-
ed as a possible fact. There is also
danger of spread from eggs from a
tubercular hen when the eggs ,are
purchased for hatching. There is
also a possibility that birdspby fol-
lowing tubercular cattle, may be-
come infected, as do hogs.

Treatment

Treatment of the affected birds is
not to be thought of, as the germs of
the disease are so often spread thru
the droppings that the only sure
means of eradicating the disease from
a flock is to kill all the birds in the
flock and if possible move the hen-
house to a new location and have
new runs. If this is not practicable,
thoroughly disinfect with five per
cent carbolic acid or five per cent
creolin, all fences, feed troughs, wa-
tering tanks and buildings should be
thoroughly disinfected. A contamin-
ated poultry yard may remain infect-
ed for a long time, many months and
possibly years- The action of disin-
fectants on this germ is very slow;
direct sunlight will kill the germ in
a few hours.

Birds from an infected flock
should not be sold for breeding pur-
poses, and the birds from such a
flockthat are killed for food should
be inspected by a competent veterin-
arian, so that none may be used for
food purposes that are diseased to
such an extent. as to render the food
unfit for use. All birds in- a. flock
infectedwith tubertulosis that die
should .be {burned to prevent further
spread of the disease ‘fromqthat'

per cent of the value of the land.)
Parties selling land are' willing'to
take second mortgages if necessary,
for. the amortization'payments are
constantly reducing the “principal of
the loans and increasing the securi-
ty of the second mortgage.”

From Wessington Springs, S. W.
Wright of the Farmers' Savings Bank
writes: “The bankers of South Da-
kota are almost unanimous in' their
opinion that it is one of the best
laws ever put into ,operation. There
is no commission for the borrower to
pay, and the long time in which to
repay the loans gives land owners
freedom from worry about renewals.
We are fin-ding( however, that the
maximum, limit ($10,000) ’is too
small for the high—priced land. Many

. real estate owners have been forced
to go elsewhere to get larger loans
and pay large commissions to get the
money.. The legislature will probab—
ly raise the limit so as to allow larg-
er loans. Even as it is, we like it
exceedingly well, and so do the farm-
ers." ' '

Advantage Over Federal Loans

The South Dakota system is much
to be preferred to the federal loan
system, say many South Dakota
bankers. L. E. Ausman of Wessing—
ton Springs sums up these advant-
ages thus:

1. ' There is no subscription for
stock.

2. There is no local organization

to be maintained.
3. There is no expense in secur-
x ing bond for the secretary-treasurer.

4. The money is secured with less
delay.

“The appraisements have been con-
servative," said Ausman. “The loans
are conservative and.reliable and the
state is fully protected."

Helps Tenant Farmers
The state system has helped tenant
farmers to buy land, according to J.
D. Fargo, vice-president of the Red-
field National Bank. “It has done

a more than anything I know of to

place tenant farmers on land of their
own," he says.- “Tenants who had
accumulated some funds to make a
reasonable payment were enabled to
buy land by borrowing the rest "of
the necessary funds.

“The state loan system benefits the
farmers and the state as a whole. It
has put the real estate loan brokers
out of commission here. We are very
much pleased with the plan as it has
worked out."

 

QUESTIONS THAT WILL INTER-
EST FARMERS AND CONSUMERS

Representative Baer, Non-Partisan
leaguer of North Dakota, in a recent
speech in the House'suggested these
pregnant and pertinent “whys?”

In the last quarter of 1919 the
price paid to farmers by the pack-
ers for hog products fell 43 per cent,
while the price of pork in eastern
markets rose 15 per cent. Why?

Texas farmers are now getting 2
1-2 cents a quart for beans. Freight
to Boston is 1 1-8 cents. In Boston
these beans retail at 18 cents a quart.
Why?

It costs 1 cent a pound to ship
butter from an Australian dairy farm
by a state owned railroad and a gov-
ernment owned merchant marine to
London. But in Wisconsin, eighteen
miles from a cheese factory, the re-
tail price of cheese is double the pro-
duction cost at the factory-and as

high as for the same brand in New _

York City. ' Why?

The southern planter gets only a.

little more than twice as muCh for
his cotton as in 1914, whereas to the
consumer cotton has advanced from
20 per pound, and cottongoods have
advanced .600 per cent. Why?

/ George W. Dickinson, Secretary-
Ianager olrthe Michigan .State Fair,-
ennounces that the poultry show at
this year’s exhibition will be by far
the largest in the fair’s history. Prof.
0. H. Burgess, Professor of Poultry
Husbandry at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, has been put in full
charge, and no restrictions are being
placed on his enthusiasm. He has
written the accompanying article on
how to prepare poultry for a fair es-
pecially for THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS
FABMER.

 

HE MANY advantages which a
Tpoultryman or farmer derives
l from exhibiting his poultry and
products cannot be overestimated. To
show birds that are well bred and
well fitted is not only a pleasure but,
when shown in connection with

large classes of the same variety and‘

breeds, a considerable profits is de-
rived therefrom, not only from sell-
ing eggs for hatching but birds for
breeding purposes as well. There
are many men and women who keep
a few well bred birds in their back
yards for the pleasure they derive in
mating and breeding of high class
stock. These small breeders are us-
ually greatest in number at poultry
exhibitions.

The Michigan State Fair has done
and is doing all in its power to pro-
vide a suitable building and cooping
in which to exhibit. Hundreds of
thousands of people pass through the
poultry building every year. The
cost of fitting and entry is very nom-
inal and the advertising power is
very great. The exhibit has doubled
every year for a number of years.
Liberal prizes are paid to the win—
ning birds but the pleasure in win-
ning cannot be measured by dollars
and cents. Many a good bird goes
down to defeat. No matter how well
bred it may be it loses it place by be—
ing ill fitted for the show room.

Hatch chickens early for the fall

ing pens that comply most nearly to

Turning the Devastated Battlefields

What the American Red Cross has Done to Assist French Farmers Rehabilitate A

~{A-MERICAN modern farming ma-
chinery and scientific agricul-
— - tural methods are being intro—
duced into France by agricultural
experts and it is expected that French
farming will soon be ,upon its feet
again, enabling France to feed her
own population.

A thirty per cent increase in the
wheat yield is espected from Cam—
brai’s spring planting this year as the
result of the use of Barbieri’s new
seed inoculation process. This new
process, which is quite different from
nitrogenous inoculations previously
invented, has been thoroug-hly test-
ed on every vegetable product grOWn
in France and its colonies, including
tobacco and sugar came The Roths—
child estates experimented and found
a thirty per cent increase yield for
wheat and potatoes. Similar results
from t-ests covering forty acres of
assorted vegetables prove conclus-
ively that the process is practical.

This seed inoculation process was
made available to the farmers of
Cambrai by the American Red Cross,
who distributed in that district the
samples received from Dr. Barbieri.

Dr. Barbieri’s researches covered
twenty years, the last three of which
were spent in the chemical labora-
tory of the Sorbonne. .His patents
cover all civilized countries and ‘a
company is now being formed to ex-
ploit the invention. Owing to sev-
eral processes known only to himself,
the inventor can control the menu-1
feature of the inoculus; thus he was.
able to allow the Red Cross the ben-
efit of his researches for its agricul-
tural work without risk of damage
to his own interests. ‘

quarters. Keep the birds free from
vermin. Wherever it is possible it
is advisable to ask advice from ex-
perienced and successful exhibitors
before starting out to prepare the
birds for exhibition.
Training of Birds

In order to Show the birds to best
advantage after they have been well
fed and reared and matured, n'ext
comes the training. Provide coops
about the same size as those used at
the place of exhibition. The train—
ing coops should be placed about
three feet from the floor. This will
accustom the birds to being elevated
from the floor and also during the
training they are not frightened by
persons passing or by the operator
handling them. The birds should be
thoroughly tame and petted in such

a way that they gain confidence in
the attendant so that a judge in ap—
proaching the cage will not frighten
them. This is a very important step
in the preparation of birds for exhi-
bition.

Place only one bird at a time in the
training cage. Allow no caging with
more than one in order to prevent
fighting. The success of the show
will depend largely upon the behavior
of the birds in the pen. Out of two
birdsequally bred, well fed, in full
plumage and standard color, the one
that is most easily handled will be the
one that will receive the prize.
Birds selected for exhibition shoud
be free from blemish and they must
conform to shape and color with the

advice of an experienced exhibitor.
The Poultry Department of the Mich-
igan Agricultural College will under-
take to give this advice free, of
charge, should it be called upon to
do so.

Special attention should be given
to head points because that is the
first thing that attracts the attention
of the judge. A single comb should
not be too high, it should be of good
texture and should not lop except in
the case of females in the Meditter-
anean class. The surface and the
under color should be taken into
consideration and should conform to
the Standard. Brass or creamy birds
should not be selected if possible as!
it is a serious defect. The exhibitors
should send the birds into the show
room in perfect condition of cleanli-
ness. This means the washing of the
comb, wattles, ear lobes and toes in
warm water and a brush to remove
dirt from between the toes and under
the scales. After the legs and toes
are once clean a drop of olive oil
on a woolen cloth should be used to
rub the shanks and toes to bring out
the best lustre.

White birds should be washed. Sea
lect three tubs of water. Birds
should not be washed in rooms that
are colder than 70 degrees Fahren-
heit. In number one the birds should
be thoroughly emerged and scrubbed
with ivory soap suds. The soap suds
should be rubbed clear downtinto
the base of the feathers. The water
should be at about 110 degrees.
Fahrenheit. In the second tub the
water should be just slightly warm.
Emerge the bird and thoroughly
wash out every trace of soap. In
the third tub the water should be at
about 50 degrees and in this water
bluing should be added the same as
for the linens on wash day. Emerge
the bird in this bluing water or rins-
ing water. Place the bird in a warm,
room that has a temperature oil
about 70 degrees and that is free

~from draft. The bird will take care
of the rest. ‘

of France Back Into Fertile Farms

griculture in the Stricken Area

are almost entirely dependent on the
tractors brought to the country by
relief organizations.

French farm workers are crowding
to the towns and cities for employ-
ment, migrating especially to indus-
trial centers such as Lille and Lens,
where wages are higher than those
ordinarily paid on the farms,- thus
fast reducing the agricultural popu—
lation of the country. Among the
distinct advantages of the tractor
French farmers have found, is that
it counters this growing shortage of
farm hands. Each tractor that comes
to France replaces several of these
city going laborers.

Farm schools are being organized
in France, and through these it is ex-
pected to interest the younger gen-
erations in agricultural pursuits. The
Junior Red Cross of America has
pledged 200,000 francs for the es-
tablishment of apprenticeships for
these schools, and 50,000 francs for
the purchase of modern farm ma-
chinery, and sums to be given from
these amounts, at intervals, Will‘be
equal to these granted by the.Min—
istry of Agriculture, A committee ofl
nine Frenchmen, including a former
Minister of Agriculture, agricultural
experts, engineers and practical
farmers, was appointed to supervise
with the Junior Red Cross, the dis-’
tribution of funds for these farm
schools. The appointment was made
by the Auxiliary Committee of the
Apprenticeship Farms of the Minisd,
try of Agriculture." ’

The one condition stipulated by}
the Ministry of Agriculture in launcha
ing the work was that the committee
be charged to make known the fact:
that it has been made possible bythe
generosity of Americanschool child-4
ren. The Junior Red Cross will be
given all. possible facilities to invee-i
tigate the functioning of the. farm! .

Calamity Howling

SORGHUM SMITH ate a bit too heartily
one evening of strawberry short-cake and
e the next morning he came in from the fields
with half a dozen pains racing back and forth
between his stomach and liver. He told Ma
Smith that he guessed he’d have to lie down
a spell on the parlor sofa. By and by the mail
carrier came. Ma Smith hurried out to get
the mail and in the little pleasantries that'fol-
lowed she imparted the information that Sorg-
hum wasn’t feeling well that morning. “You
know,” said she to the mailman, “Sorghum’s
been a hard worker’all his life and he isn’t as
young as he used to be.” The postman went
his way and Calamity Ed, whose farm adjoin-
ed the Smith’s On the south, was soon hearing
about Sorghum Smith’s “attack.” In the
next day ortwo all the neighbors within a rad-
ius of ten miles of Skimmilk‘ Corners had
heard of Sorghum Smith being stricken while
at work in the fields, “a great strong man like
Sorghum, just think of it,” and were specu-
lating on whether Widow Sorghum would have
to sell the farm and go to the city in order to
support herself and the fatherless Sorghum
children.

Some folks are natural born calamity howl-
ers. They magnify their own troubles and the
troubles of their neighbors. It requires no
great stretch of their imagination to change a
harmless stomach-ache into a deadly cancer. If
the doctor diagnoses a rash as scarletina they
are sure he must be mistaken because anyone
with half an eye can see that the child has
scarlet fever or diptheria. Chicken pox means
sum]: [was to them, and a. scratch on the finger
is a positive forerunner of blood poisoning.

If the sun doesn’t shine it’s going to be a

there is a wet spell the seed is sure to rot in

that there’s going to be an early frost. A few

Crippling the Department of Agriculture ”

E T. MEREDITH, Secretary of, the Depart-
0 ment of Agriculture, has published a list
of forty-nine projects which 7 the Department
will either have to entirely abandon or curtail
greatly as a result of Congress cutting out
something like six million dollars from the De-
partment’s estimates.” to its needs. The See-
retary calls attention to the fact that the de-
creased purchasing power of the dollar makes
the cut all the more serious and handicaps the
work of the Department in a large measure.
But Congress sufiered a lapse in its economy
mood and failed to cut out an appropriation of
$239,000 for that old political pap of free seed
distribution, although its elimination was rec-
ommended by the Secretary.

While the public will hardly approve of
Congress’ niggardliness toward the Department
of Agriculture at a time when the farmer needs
all the assistance he can get, we would hardly
claim that the agricultural interests will be
jeopardized because of the Department ’9 tom-
porary inability to render its usual services.
Moreover, we expect that the Department will
find a way of carrying out its most necemary
projects even under the handicap of enforced
economy. ,

Congress is not to be entirely excused for the
peculiar inconsistencies in its economy program.
After a much-heralded examination of the pork
barrel and the removal of a few finds and
cheap cuts, the choicest pork still remains and
will be distributed as usual where best serves
the political future of the pork-barrel politi-
cian. Nevertheless, we have long since learned
that Congress is not a perfect machine and con-
sequently we do not expect perfection in its
economy program or any other program it
might undertake. We rather feel like compli-
menting Congress for even thinking in terms of
economy and if that thought has moved it to
action against the farmer’s department of ag-
riculture, we suppose we ought to accept what
is handed us and show that we can take our
economy medicine with good grace. It is all
very well to cry loudly for lower taxes but un-
less we are willing to accept our share of the
consequences of reductions "in appropriations
our complaints will carry little weight.

Trucks and Highways

HE USE of the truck for long distance

hauling has brought up an entirely new
and withal a very serious problem in highway
construction. It was long ago demonstrated
that gravel, macadam or asphalt construction
could notwithstand the pounding of heavily
loaded tracks, but it was believed that concrete
would give reasonable service. Hence, hund-
reds of miles of concrete roads have been built
with the expectation that they wopld stand up
for a period of years under the heaviest traffic
which the law would permit to be hauled over

them. But they have not done so. Concrete

charges and force them to pay a high tax into
the state for the use of the highways. It has
more recently been proposed that ~cemmercial
vehicles be required to provide their own track-

age. The taxpayer ’s first and natural impulse

is to approve of thi suggestion, but a careful

study of it will show that it is not well taken. a

The truck has found a most wential‘ place in
the nation’s transportation and it should not
be surrounded with insurmountable handicaps.
The use of the truck should on the contrary

ible provided for it. But the present method

Certain highways of the state between the.
larger cities have become the accustomed routes

of travel for trucks. These are principally

trunk line highways. Under the state law the
state bears a certdin large percentage of the
cost of these highways and the county through
which they are built the balance. Now when it
is certain that the people of the average county

in southern Michigan who hear a percentage of

the cost of these roads do not require the use
of the roads in proportion to their share of
building them. A main highway is used much
more by transient than by resident taxpayers.
It is a well-known fact that the principal dam-
age to the main highways has been done by the
trucks of concerns located in the cities who pay
no share of the local cost of maintaining the
roads. Hence, it is clearly unfair to charge
those who are unfortunate enough to reside in

the locality of these roads with the cost of keep-

ing them in repair.

pass should be expected to pay such propor-
tion of the construction as they would normal-
ly require for their own purposes. But there
their responsibility should end, and the state

FARME- ‘ R TURNED DAY LABORER

I am going to try and express my-
self on a few issues of the days es-
pecially H. C. of L. I am at present
working for Henry Ford '& Son in
Dearborn. " I am here owing to ill
luck and the exorbitant rate of in-
terest one has to pay for the use of
money where I live.» I am trying to
pay off debts accumulated while try-
ing to farm. If any one thinks farm-
ing is a get rich scheme and wishes
to try their hand I will say that I
have 160 acres partly improved land
in the northern part of the stats and
that I will sell the same very reason-
able. I would be very glad if I had
the money out of it that .I have inlt.
I guess I have run about all the
riskIcaretoatpresent.Ihavernn
the risk of frost, drought, grasshop—
pers, losing stock and last but not
least of all, I have had to take mar-
ket prices for whatever it might be
that I produced.

Some people seem to think it is
a sure way to get rich but if they
had to pay for farm products accord-
ing to prices asked for other commo-
dities you would hear a greater howl
about H. C. of L. than we do. From
the present outlook wages will be
higher next summer than now. Even
now $6 is minimum wages in Des
troit for common labor. Some con-
cerns have offered $6.50 for labor
a day and the end is not in sight.

Very nearly every day one can
hear men talking of having farms
that are working in the shops. Un-
lessamanhasafamandagood
one at that and has it paid her and
free of debt he will find it uphill bus-
iness. He will iind then that he puts
in more hours for the money
than if he were working in a
shop. I will say this, that I was
born and raised on a farm and if I
had a good farm and out of debt,
with stock and tools to work with, I
would be there today. As it is my
sympathy is with the farmer, for I
know what he is. up against.

If I can save enough to buy a
small place and have it free of debt,
I expect to go back to the land, but
I do not like to be a slave to keep
things going and make ends meet.

I am thinking the farmers will
have to work out their own salvation
with fear and trembling. If they
cannot see alike and do not hang to-
gether they will have to hang sep-
arately. .

The nearest to a solution that I
can odor is that the people get
back to the _ original state of
things as created in the beginning. I
believe all things were created for
man and I do not think it was intend—
ed for one man to have 9. mon-
opoly on the necessities of life.

The way of the trans'gressor is
hard. In the beginning man didn’t
even need clothes and the earth
brought forth in profusion. All men
needed to do was to plant and prune
and work a little perhaps, but be-
cause Adam ate the apple and fol-
lowed his wife’s advice rather than
the creator, he has now to pay the
bill. There is a way that seemeth
good unto a man but the way there-
of is death. He has to pay for every
thing he puts in his face and every—
thing he puts on his back and a
good deal has to go through too
many hands and they all want too
big a rake-off.

The only thing will be for the
working classes to own the factories
and run them for the benefit of them—
selves- A reasonable profit could be
returned to- those working and a per?
centage go to the government. What
is capital but profit on labor when
we sum it all down. And why could
not this be put to work’for those
who 'do the work? In my opinion
if we expect to out the cost of living
we will have to~cut out the middle
man as far‘ as possible and sell di-
rect. I would like'to see the day
when every" article would be la-
belled; showing what hands it
.. "went through and just how much

every one got for their labor, service,

 call it. 'It loch like tome

conrmend you for position you have
taken on many positions, especially
on Mr. Fordncy’s stand on the bean

able paper. I jnst’ read what 8. B.
Horton said on the proposed paro-
chial school amendment and it --cer-
tainly is kind of you to print his art-

people who have no religion at all
are to blame fer it. You will cer-
tainly gain—a lot of friends especial-

ing some of these people a little

Yes, and we will gain friends among
the right-thinking Protestants who love
religious liberty. We Protestants are
not so religiously narrow-minded as
some of our Catholic friends think. Every
religious faith has its bigots, and nearly
every generation is cursed with a few
fanatics who want to revive old doctrines
of hate, in the name of God! This pub-
lication concedes the right of people to
worship and educate their children as
they please so long as they remain true
to the laws and the traditions of the

THE CANDIDATE

Ohio appreciates the honor con-
ferred upon it by the Chicago con-
vention. Without regard to their
own partisan aililiations, citisens of
this state are pleased that one of
Ohio‘s sons has been found worthy
of the highest prize that a great po-
litical party can give to any-one. The
“Mother of Presidents" wears a new
smile—a smile of pride mixed with
no small portion of surprise.

His native state knows Warren G.
Harding as a genial, warm hearted
citizen, much beloved by those who
know him best. As a campaign or-
ator he won his spurs early and has
never lost them. Yet his political
career before he went to the United
States senate was without distinction.
He has been a popular senator, the
not a leader among his colleagues.

Senator Harding is the Republican
nominee by virtue of his rivals’ mis-
takes, rather than by his own
strength. His nomination came thru
the strategy of the "senatorial cau-
cus” at Chicago. The “caucus” was
spokesman for the Old Guard, and.
its triumph was an Old Guard tri-
umph. Mr. Harding carries into the
campaign the label of Old Guard-

The Harding nomination is the
fruition of a program which had its
beginning in the minds of party lead-
ers months before the convention as-
It was this—the selection
of a nominee acceptable to the con-
servative wing of the party—that led
to the insistent demand that the con-
ventionmajority be made up of un—
instru-cted delegates. The bosses
knew that they could handle such a
majority as they Wished when the
convention crisis should come. They
deliberately nullified the presidential
primary in enough states to give them
this strangle hold on the convention.

Gov. Lowden was obviously the
first choice of the Old Guard. He
was to be nominated if the temper of
the convention made it appear safe
thing to do. Except for we facts
brought out by the senate inquiry
into primary expenditures he would
be head of the ticket today. Even
after this exposure and after the con-
vention had begun balloting Low-
den was the Old‘Guard’s real choice.
He would have been named had Pen-
rose and the other managers not
been fearful of what the country

With Penrose and his spokesmen
at Chicago it was a case of anything
to beat Wood and Johnson. When
Lowden ' became modulus, the
switch to Mag was inevitable.

O O O C
There is, of course, not a trace of
progressive blood in Senator Hard-
- ing’s veins. He is of the old school

through and through. The bi-parti- --

san political insurgency that has
made its impress on the country
since then, that has brought a. new
spirit into the counsels of all parties,
that has written volumes of progres-
sive legislation into state and federal
statues and awakened the conscious-
ness of the American people to their
rights and their opportunities made
no impression on the mind of Mr.
Harding.

To the senator, William H. Taft
in 1912 was the greatest progressive
of the age. Theodore Roosevelt be
likened to Aaron Burr of malod'orous
famous “deference
and devotion” speech in which he
eulogized Boss Cox of Cincinnati, is
part of the annals of Ohio politics.
In 1916 Mr. Harding pleaded for for-
getfulness of the animosities of four
years before. Between now and Nov-
ember he will have many an occasion
to wish that the dead Republican
(past: may be permitted to bury its

ea .

As a member of the United States
senate, Mr. Harding has been a reg—
ular of the regulars; a follower and
not a leader- He has always been
ready and eloquent with his denunci—
ations of the president. No better
viewer with alarm could be found
anywhere. His attitude on the
treaty has never wavered in its reg-
ularity. The Old Guard always knew
where to find him; always knew he
would do precisely as party discipline
required him to do.

So the Old Guard’s happiness over
Harding’s nomination has no mystery
about it. When the time came to
assert its control of affairs, the Old
Guard turned its support to one who
had carried not a single primary ex-
cept that of his own state—and this
by nine less than a solid delegation.
So far as the result at Chicago is
concerned, there may as well have
been no presidential primaries.

MIND OVER BODY

In the April 3rd edition of your
valuable paper I saw an editorial re-
ferring to the great advance medical
men have made in counteracting di-
seases- Whatever is done to increase
the efficiency and ease of the
people will have to be done through
their minds—for it is obviously true
that the mind OUGHT to rule the
body. Or people ought to have self
control. It is true that food glut-
tony will cause auto-intoxication of
the intestinal tract and poison the
blood, but it is also true that ex-
cessive and foolish food consump-
tion creates "nests of worms for some
people. The medical profession
might tell us, if they have our in-
terest at heart, that the blood is
made up of 12 basic chemical salts
which are extracted from our food
and that this chemicalized material
is turned into blood by being cross-
ed with inbreathcd air at the lungs.
Then the mind ought to be trained to
select proper food-s to furnish these
salts and also to breathe pure air so
as to make pure blood.

Then the mind again needs to be
freed from anger, strife, malice, un-
forgiveness, selfishness, greed, etc.,
for they all tend to poison the blood.
But it would interfere with the bus-
iness of drug stores and doctors to
put this information clearly and per-
sistently before the people.

As the life is controlled by the
mind, or ought to be, so the physical
life is in the blood. But what do
you think of a doctor injecting vac-
cine from a sick unto death cow, into
the blood of a man or woman?
Strong recruits keeled over dead
from serums in our into war.

Our poses, and measles and posts
are the results of eating and drink~
ing and breathing contrary to the re-
(fuirements of the blood. ‘

We hibernate in the winter, eat

plenty of meat and grease and also‘

breathe stale, devitaliaed air. 80 of
course, as a natural consequence.
when the temperature moderates the
body throws those poisons OUT of
the system in fevers and sores.

But that is not all by any means.
The Bible is a book of allegories and
parables dealing largely with the
wonders of the human body and its
proper use and purpose.

But the generally accepted theory
of modern civilization is that licens-
ed or matrimonial prostitution or
the self abuse of those not so licens-
ed or married, is essential and nec-
essary and as a consequence people
have no vitality. 'The old saying,
“People are growing weaker and
wiser” is a tremendous lie for if we
were wiser we should be stronger for
we should have learned self control.

Unless the medical profession go
to the foundation of our troubles——
the proper use of the mind in con-
trolling the body—the selection of
proper foods to furnish the mineral
salts needed to make blood and the
necessary pure air to breathe, and
freedom from anger, malice, etc., we
shall continue to swell the high cost
of living by frequent visits from doct—
ors and surgeons and add to the
drug trust profits, but we shall also
help the undertaker and the grave
digger in their respective avocations.

The people do not want the 'truth
yet. They do not care for the task
of thinking for themselves. They
are accustomed to be led and led
astray. They seem to like it. Bar-
num made a success with his circus
because he was able to see their
natures in its true light. But some
of us who know better dislike im—
mensely that this age of medical ex-'
perts are fastening upon us through
legislation and printed propaganda.

You are right, "the people do not
want the truth.” It is as hard for them
to follow right mode of living as right

and they must now turn their

thoughts to the more serious bus—
iness of making a living. What 'vo-
cation they shall take up depends en-
tirely upon themselves for we can do
in this day of possibilities, anything
we WILL do. And wise indeed is
the girl who chooses to do the kind
of work she enjoys. '

For the girl who loves children,
there is the very commendable occu-
pation of teaching, and with the pres-
ent rating given teachers, it is now
possible for a girl to fit herself for
this occupation, knowing that she
will be as well paid as others who en-
gage in different lines of work. But
a girl who has no patience with child-
ren should never engage in this work
in the wide, wide world, for, no mat-
ter how much she knows, she will
never be a successful teacher. A
successful teacher not only knows,
but knows how to impart to others
with sympathy and understanding.

There are the business courses,
for which a girl can fit herself with
only a few months of concentrated
work, and which bring financial re-

, wards to those who make a specialty
of their line of work. To those who
just use a vocation as a money mak-
ing institution, it will never mean
much—not even much money, for in
order to make a success of any kind
of work, one must love it—love it
well enough to work overtime when
necessary, in fact to work for others
in your chosen line as if the work
which you were doing really were
your own, and upon you depended
the success of the undertaking. Rec-
ognition will surely come through
this method of work—if not finan—
cially, then you will acquire the habit
of doing so well the thing you have
set yourself to do that you will be—
come an expert, and you can branch
out for yourself or others will seek
you out.

of patience, there is no field which
offers better opportunities. But the
school in which the nurse trains has
such an infinite lot to do with her
success afterwards, that it behooves
every girl who thinks of taking up
this work to take time to thoroughly
satisfy herself as to the requirements
of the school and the advantages of-
fered. Michigan has as good nurs-
ing schools as will be

when you consid-

er that after entering training school
it is almost impossible to get into
another school. One training school
does not, except in rare occasions,
accept pupils who have trained or
partly trained elsewhere, except as
post graduate nurses. For instance,
afterrhaving trained for a definite
length of time, there are Women's
hospitals which will accept student
nurses from other schools and give
them the special training in obstet-
rics.

But do not accept a school because
it promises to train you in a short
course, because unless you are a col-
lege graduate, and have been given
credit on the regular course because
of this advanced preparatory work,
you will find that the school is not up
to par, and more often than not, the
doctors treat the nurses from these
schools the same as a legitimate doct-
or treats a quack doctor. There is
no quick and easy way—it is through
patient practice that one becomes
efficient at this work. But it is a

later in life a woman can accept

which varies
from $5 to $10 per month. En-
trance requirements in 20 schools
call for an eighth grade education-
Four schools demand complete high
school education, nine admit with
two years of high school, and eight
require but one year of high school
work.

As further qualifications for ad--

“mission to the training school the
applicant must be a woman of good
moral character; she must be of av-
erage height, weight and physique,
in good physical condition, and free
from physical defects.

The course of instruction while in
training includes a prescribed num-
ber of hours in the subjects of anat—
omy, bacteriology, hygiene, medical
nursing, surgical nursing, obstetric
nursing, and a certain number of
hours in the laboratory, in the op-
erating room and the diet kitchen.
The time spent in training is divided
as to duty between the different de-
partments of the hospital so that the
student may acquire bedside experi-
ence in the handling of medical, sur-
gical, obstetrical and children’s dis-
eases as well as operating room and

“GET v MORE OUT OF YOUR
HOME," SAYS JINGLE SAM
HE GOVERNMENT, in this work
has wisely pointed out the fact

L ~that. thrift may mean not only
the actual saving of money but also
the wise spending of money, spend-
ing that brings returns in comfort,
happiness or efliciency.‘ Below we
quote the advice of the Department
to farm women on the subject of get-
ting more out of the home:~

“By making the house and its sub-
roundings healthful, convenient, com-
fortable, and attractive. '

“By securing a sanitary water sup-
ply; by using running water where-
ever possible—a simple piped system
for water may cost only a few dol-
lars. .

“By providing for proper disposal
of sewage.

“By thorough screening against
flies and mosquitoes. ,

“By adequate ventilating, lighting
and heating and well arranged stor-
age places. .

“By equipping the kitchen and
other workrooms as conveniently as
the farm buildings—get the man to
study this problem with the woman:

“By machine equipment—pump;
power washer and wringer; milk sep-
arator; churn; but don’t buy a $3,-
000 car and carry water because we
can’t afford a water system.

“By cutting out waste space and
useless belongings.

“By choosing furnishings that
are comfortable, easy to care for, and
pleasing to look at.

“By providing simple, well-cooked,
palatable meals.

“By choosing clothes which are
comfortable, suitable and becoming.

“By having a simple, practicable
plan for the housework and follow-
ing it. ‘

The above advice oflers a very de-
sirable program which should be car-
ried out to the fullest possible extent.

EAR CHILDREN: I am very
D proud of all of my little

nephews and nieces, and of what
you can do, and this week I am es—
pecially happy to be able to award
three more prizes for drawing, which
appear on this page. It is so near
the Fourth of July and I know every
little boy and girl will just love to
own a flag that I am sending a flag
to the three winners, Beulah Engle,
Margaret Cook and Helen Wagner,
and next week there will appear the
prize essay on “The Days We Display
the Flag" and the winners will also
receive flags as prizes. Their names
will be published next week. So
you see there are always plenty of
opportunities for prize winning. If
you can't draw, you can perhaps
write.

How I wish more of the boys
would write to me—all the girls keep
wondering why the boys don’t write
.more letters. I am sure theyread
our page, but boys never seem to en-
joy writing letters as do girls. But
boys like prizes just as well as girls,
so come on and get busy boys; if
you can’t do anything else to win
a prize, secure some subscriptions to
OUR paper and send them direct to
me, with $1 for each new subscrip-
tion and I will be glad to award you
a prize. And you can have your

not burn," he challenged, inviting in-
vitation by extending the pinch of
{ubbish over the bowl as if to drop
1; n_ - 

The Queen nodded consent, and all
saw the rubbish fall upon the liquid
metal surface. The particles made
no indentation on that surface. Only
did they transform into smoke that
sheened upward and was gone. No
remnant of ash remained.

“Still is it cold,” said Torres, im-
itating Francis and feeling the out-
side of the bowl.

“Thrust your finger, into the con-
tents,” the Queen suggested to Tor-
res.

“No,” he said.

“You are right,” she confirmed.
“Had you done so, you would now
be with one finger less than the num-
ber with which you were born.” She
tossed in more powder. “Now shall
fiacg behold what he alone will be—

01 ."

And it was so.

To Leoncia was it given to see an
ocean separate her and Francis. To
Henry was it given to see the Queen
and Francis married by so strange
a ceremony, that scarcely did he
realize, until at the close, that it
was a wedding taking place. The
Queen from a flying gallery in a great
house, looked down into a magnifi-
cient drawing-room that Francis
would have recognized as builded by
his father had her vision been his.
And, beside her, his arm about her,
she saw Francis. Francis saw but
one thing, vastly perturbing, the
face of Leoncia, immobile as death,
with thrust into it, squarely between
the eyes, a slender-bladed dagger.
Yet he did not see any blood flowing
from the wound of the dagger. Tor-
res glimpsed the beginning of what
he knew must be his end, crossed
himself, and alone of all of them
shrank back, refusing to see furth-
er. While the Sun Priest saw the
vision of his secret sin, the face and
form of the woman for Whom he had
betrayed the Worship of the Sun, and
the face and form of the maid of the
Village of the Long House.

As all drew back by common con-
sent when the visions faded, Leon-
cia turned like a tigress, with flash-
ing eyes, upon the Queen, crying:

“Your mirror lies! Your Mirror
of the World lies !"

Francis and Henry, still under the
heavy spell of what they had them-
selves beheld, were startled and sur-
prised byv Leoncia’s outburst. But
the Queen speaking softly, replied:

“My Mirror of the World has nev-
er lied. I know not what you saw.
But I do know, whatever it was, that
it is truth.”

“You are a monster !” Leoncia
cried out. “You are a vile witch that
lies !"

“You and I are women," the
Queen chided with sweet gentleness,
“and may not know of ourselves, be-
ing women. Men will decide wheth—
er or not I am a witch that lies or a
woman with a woman's heart of love.
In the meanwhile, being women and
therefore weak, let us be kind to
each other." '

“-——And now, Priest of the Sun, to
judgment. You, as priest under the
Sun God, know more of the ancient
rule and procedure than do I. You
know more than do I about myself
and how I came to be here. You
know that always, mother and daugh-
ter, and by mother and daughter has
the tribe maintained a. Queen of Mys—
tery, a Lady of Dreams. The time
has come when we must consider the
future generations. The strangers
have come, and they are unmarried.
This must be the wedding day de—
creed, if the generations to come af-
ter of the tribe are to possess a Queen
to dream for them. It is well, and
time and need and place are met. I
have dreamed to judgment. And the
judgment is that I shall marry, of
these strangers, the stranger alloted
to me before the foundations or the
world were laid. The testis this: If

The Sun Priest, trembling with his
anger, strove to protest but she com-
manded: . ‘

“Silence, priest! By me only do
you rule the people. At a word from
me to the people—well, you know. It
is not an easy way to die." ‘

She turned to the three men say-
ing: ‘

am a‘ woman,” the Queen went
on teasingly. “And therefore, am I
not desirable to men? ' Is it that I
am not young? Is it, as women go,
that I am not beautiful? Is it that
men’s tastes are so strange that no
man cares to clasp the sweet of me
in his arms and press his lips on mine
as good Francis there did on my
hand?”

She turned her eyes on Leoncia.

“You be judge. You are a woman
well loved of men. Am I not such
a woman as you, and shall I not be
loved?" '

“You will be ever kinder to men
than to women,” Leoncia answered
—cryptically as regarded the three
men who heard, but clearly to the
woman’s brain of the Queen. “And
as a woman,” Leoncia continued,
“you are strangely beautiful and lur-
ing; and there are men in this world,
many men, who could be made mad to
clasp you in their arms. But I warn
you, Queen, that in this world are
men, and men, and men."

 
 

 

Having heard and debated this,
the Queen turned abruptly to the
priest.

“You have heard~priest. This day
a man shall marry me. If no man
marries me, these three men shall
be offered up on-your altar. So shall
be offered up this woman, who, it
would seem, would put shame upon

_me by having me less than she."

Still she addressed the priest, al-
though her message was for the oth-
ers.

“There are three men of them, one
of whom, long cycles before he was
born, was destined to marry me. So,
priest, I say, take the captives away

into some other apartment, and let,

them decide among themselves which
is the m'an.” _

"Since it has been so long destin-
ed," Leoncia flamed forth, “then
why put it to the chance of their de-
cision? You know the man. Why
put it to the risk? Name the man,
Queen, and name him now."

“The man shall be selected in the
way I have indicated,” the Queen re-
plied, as, at the same time, absently
she tossed a pinch of powder into the
great bowl and absently glanced
therein. “So now depart and let the
inevitable choice be made.”

They were already moving away
out of the room, when a cry from
the Queen stopped them.

“Wait !” she ordered. “Come,
Francis. I have seen something that
concerns you. Come, gaze with me
upon the Mirror of the World."

house, and he saw beside him the ,
Lady Who Dreams, his arm around ,
her. Next, he saw her curiosity at *
sight of the stock-ticker. As he tried ‘-
to explain it to ‘her, he glanced at
the tape and read such disturbing
information thereone that he sprang.
to the nearest telephone and, as the
visionfaded, saw himself calling up
his broker. ,

“What was it you saw?" Leoncia
questioned, as they passed out.

And Francis lied. He did not men-
tion seeing the Lady Who Dreams in
his New York library. Instead he
replied:

“It was a stock ticker, and it
showed a bear market on Wall Street
somersaulting into a panic. Now how >
did she know I was interested in '*
Wall street and stock tickers?”

BLACKING HARNESS

From time to time formulas are
given in articles appearing in farm
papers for making a good harness
blacking. The formula calls for the
purchase of four or five different in-
gredients and involves considerable
work and time in compounding them.

It is not necessary to further bur-
den the housewife by asking her to
make a homemade harness blacking,
for at any leather store and at most
drug stores, it is possible to buy a .
small can of leather renewer, all
ready for use and costing little if
any more than the separate ingredi-
ents used in the home compound.
This is merely a labor saving sug-
gestion, and who is more deserving
of being saved from unnecessary
work than the overworked farm
housewife.

Great strength has been shown in
the corn market owing to the unfav-
orable condition of crops in general.
Some news has come from the dis-
tricts where corn was planted early
and many of the growers report dam-
age from the cutworms.

Another worm that promises to
raise havoc with America’s corn lat-
er iu the season is the corn-borer.

Secreted in a cargo of broom corn
imported from Austria, the nnbidden
guest has invaded 2,750 square miles
in four states~Massachusettm New
York, New Hampshire and one conn-
ty in Pennsylvania.

The so—caIled corn borer, named
by reason of its tunneling operations
through the stalks and ears of corn,
is the worst of pests, destroying from
one-fourth to one-half of the infest—
ed crops of corn, millet, hops and
hemp in its naLive lands of Europe
and Asia. Its depredations in the
cornfields of this country have been
such as to deprive the worm of none
of its unsavory reputation as the
arch enemy of plant life yet introduc—
ed into the United States.

Buyers are Buying more attention
to hens and chickens and a. finner
tone is quoted. The market is not
troubled so much as it was with
hold-over supplies. Dressed calves
are doing a little better and there is
a steady market for hogs. Dairy
products are in liberal supply and
active. The feeling in eggs is easy,
but there is active buying of butter
and the market holds steady.

TEXAS ‘FARMIE‘RS GET $2.50 FOR

THEIR WHEAT

New wheat was selling (or $2.25

dealer in and around Fort Worth,
Texas on June let.
elated to be the highest price paid
there in several years.

Thiswas de—

 

 

ft not for less than titty miles of
tumbling rapids in the upper St.
Lawrence. The improvement at this
fifty miles, by the creation of two
great dams to hold back the waters V
of the river, is now becoming a mat-
ter of international concern.

“Engineers are agreed that this
work can he done at a cost approxi-
mating $110,000,000, and that the

I tour million horse-power of electrical
energy that will be released by creat-
ing these artificial lakes will more
than pay the entire carrying charges
of the undertaking. So'that from a
financial standpoint the proposition
uppears entirely teosible. With these
dams built, and their locks in opera-
tion, a steamer of. 5,000 tons capacity
could enter the St. Lawrence, carry-
ing a. cargo from Europe, lay down
that cargo at any one of the Great
Lakes parts, and then proceed to the
head of the lakes to re—loed with
wheat or flax or livestock for the

‘ return journey. The eflect would be
to thrust an arm of the ocean midway
into the heart of the American con-
tinent, and bring the prairie region
west of Chicago and Duluth into ov-

GREEN LEG PLYMOUTH ROCKS

Are there any pure bred Barred Ply-
mouth Rocks having dark Colored feet
and legs?——Mrs. I. N, M.. Standish Mich.

Barred Rock pullets often show a
dark green or slatey green leg, ow-
ing to, I think, the fact of exhibition
breeding to increase the number of
bars on the feather that the yellow
pigment has about left the beak and
the leg in the modern bred Barred
Plymouth Rock. The cockerels show
yellow legs and are very apt to have
green in the beak. The cause of this
is the breeding more black into the
fowl, which of course is moving tow-
ards the Black Java blood that was
originally crossed to produce the
Barred Rock. ‘

By the standard of perfection you
will notice that the Black Java
shanks and toes are black or nearly
black with a tendency towards wil-
low but black preferred. This would
give ample chance for the dark col-
ored shank. For a good many years

there were green spots on the shanks

of the Barred Rock female but later
on of course we find the greenish
slate leg on most all of them.—
0. H. Burgess, Professor of Poultry
Husbandry, M. A. 0.

“’ORDING OF CONTRACT SHOWS

Last August I listed my farm for sale
with our local agent, gave him the ex—
clusive sale of it for 12 months, but he
did not bring any one around for eight
months (I had signed a contract with
him for a five per cent commission.)
Last February I saw an ad in the ’Chi—
cago Daily‘News which I answered. The
Chicago broker came out with the owner
of Chicago property and we made a deal‘
here to trade equity for equity, I agree-
ing to pay the Chicago agent $450 com-
mission. Now our local agent after
hearing that I had traded,,comes along
with a proposition for a. trade, after I
had signed a contract with the Chicago

man. Can our local agent hold me for
commission?—A Subscriber Van Buren
County,

Your question is a complicated one
and may be controlled by the word-
ing of the contract you made with the
first broker. Unless that contract
would control I am of the opiniOn
you would still beable to make a
deal yourself and not be liable to him
for any commission. Such a matter
should be submitted to your attor-
ney with all of the facts to assist in
construing the question of liability.

WIFE NOT LIABLE FOR HUS-
BAND’S DEBTS

I would like to have you print in your
paper what you know in regards to the
paying of notes signed for men going
to the war and not returning. Now
these widows refuse to pay same after
they have signed their name on the re-
newal note for the first one signed by
dier husband. 'I have a. note that I paid
a. year ago that I signed with a young
man that was working for me when he
was drafted. His wife ~renewed this
note and signed her own name to the
renewal now she receives her insurance
from her husband who was killed in
France and refuses to do anything with
it at all. Please print your advice. on
this as there are perhaps others who
would like to know this same thing—'—
E. M. G., Osceola County.

A married woman is not liable for
her husband’s debts even though she
signed the note. It would not make
any difference how much money she
had. If the deceased left no estate
of his own from which the amount
of the indebtedness could be collect-
ed you would be without a remedy
in law—W. E. Brown, legal editor.

RAISING \VATER ON LAKE

Have individuals owning lake front-
age which embraces an outlet to several
lakes the right to raise the water level
of these lakes by daming the outlet?
What procedure would be necessary, on
the part of parties wishing to raise the
level. to make the daming legal. The
raising of the level would be detriment-
al in several instances to parties own-
ing frontage on the lakes to be raised.
Have the parties who would be serious-
ly affected any powers to prohibit the
raising of the water 1evel?—A Living-
ston County Subscriber.

The parties who desire to raise
the water on the lakes must have
the right of flowage of all of the bor-
dering land to legally raise the wa—
ter. They can acquire this right of
flowage only by purchase. The per-
sons likely to be injured by threaten-
ed flowage would be entitled to an
injunction upon a proper bill’ in
chancery paying for such injunction.

The purchaser of cream is liable
in a personal action for the price of

the cream, and for the can, if he re-_

fuses to return it. I would be of the
opinion that a demand would have
to be made upon him for the can be-

with him as to the time of its return.
Unless the goods were obtained by

VALUE OF ENSILAGE

What is a. fair price per ton for 3
good grade of silage? How many tons
per foot will two year old silage weigh
in the bottom six feet of a 12 x 42 silo
that has been filled both years?—-A Hur-
on Candy Reader.

The value of ensilage will depend
upon the class of livestock to which
it is to be fed, the maturity of the
corn, and the distance necessary to
haul the ensilage. At the present
price of hay, from $12 to $14 per

ton is a fair estimate. The weight
per cubic foot of ensil-age varies
greatly at different depths. In a

12 x 42ft. silo, the ensilage will
weigh from 30 to' 35 pounds per
cubic foot, 10 feet from the top,
while the bottom 6 ft. will weigh

from 60 to 70 pounds per cubic foot.
Assuming that the weight per cubic
food is 65 pounds, each footof silage
will weigh approximately 3.6 min;
at the depth mentioned—0. R. Megee,

TENANT FURNISHES ALL

was no such agreement and the ten-
ant was to have two—thirds and the

GRUBS IN-OATTLE
My cattle have big grubs in their
backs, some of them have about a. hund-
red and others not so many. Can YJU
inform me how to get rid of them and
what causes them to get there?—-H. F.,
Sanilao County.

The grubs to which you refer ap-
pertain to the life history of the Bot-
f'ly. This grub, or the larvae of this
fly, when grown, is smooth, white,
and transparent, as it enlarges it
becomes browner, and about the time
of its full growth it is of a. deep
brown color. The larvae having at—
tained its .full growth and size, ef-
fects its escape from the abscess of
the back of the affected animal and
drops to the ground, it is then of a
dark brown color, narrower at one
end than at the other, flat _on one
side and very round and convex on
the other. They remain in this state
for.about six weeks, and the fly ap—
pears. The grubs usually escape
during the months of May or June.
Sometimes these grubs are very
numerous and cause a great deal of
pain and uneasiness in the animal,
which becomes thin in flesh, hide-
bound and feverish, more frequent-
ly, however, they do no harm except
to the hides. Treatment: Whenever
cattle have these tumors along the
back ,it is advisable to press out the

TUB ULOSIS IN CATTLE

How is‘ ‘uberculosis in pure bred cat-
tle found to be present, and what is the
method of cure. Can an outsider when
coming to a. strange barn detect that
tuberculosis is present in a. herd? I
have heard the remark that calves stand-
ing by their mother is a. good advertise-
ment for no tuberculosis. How much
linseed meal is safe for a horse when
used as a tonic—Subscriber, Mason
County.

Tuberculosis in pure bred cattle is
identically the same as tuberculosis
in grades; the only positive method
of diagnosing the disease is by means
of the tuberculin test, however, the
symptoms in some cases are very
pronounced, for where the lungs are
affected the animal usually presents
a chronic cough. When the mesen-
teric glands are involved there is
apt to be a. persistent or periodical

diarrhoea. One familiar with the
disease may be able to detect its
presence by a casual examination-

There is no cure and the barbering
of this or any other contagious dis-
ease Will sooner or later mean a
great loss. Calves standing beside
their mother is no indication the, dis-
ease is not pres‘ent. One or two
tablespoonfuls of linseed meal morn-

RAISING COL BY um

I would like to ask through your vale
uable paper if any of your readers have
had any experience raising a. colt, by
hand. Mare died. Am feeding coWs
milk diluted 3. little. Have been told
to feed an egg 9. day. Veterinary pre—
scribed Cascara. Sagradac at first. Would
you advise giving a little now and then.
Colt is 12 days old. About how much
milk would be enough. Its my first ex—
perience and don’t want to overfeed.——
W. M. H., Shiawassee County.

 

When raising a colt by hand the
following is recommended. Dilute
cows milk with an equal amount of

,water and to one quart of this mix—

ture add five drahms of sugar. The
amount that is required depends on
the size and breed of the colt. It
would be advisable to feed the colt
about six times a day, warming a
fresh supply of milk each time.—

ary Science, M. A. 0.

LET BULL ENDORSE YOUR NOTE

The Better Sires campaign con-
ducted by various states in co-opera—
tion with the Bureau of Animal In-
dustry, United States Department of
Agriculture, is developing the fact
that bank credit is available to the
progressive live stock farmer as to
the progressive business man of the
city.

A letter received by the Bureau of
Animal Industry reports the follow—
ing announcement published by a
Wisconsin bank to its farmer pat-
rons:

“Why not keep some of those
pure bred Holsteins home? Many
fine animals will be sold at the first
annual sale of the Brown County
Holstein Breeders’ Association to be

held in the Brown County fair
grounds, West De Pere, Wis., on
Monday, May 10. The ‘— Bank

is ready to stand back of any of its
customers who wish to purchase
some of the stock to be offered for
sale and who do not feel able at
present to carry the investment.
Call at the bank and the accommo-
dation can be easily arranged."

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE

The busy millionaire climbed into
his beautiful and purring automo-
bile. A ragged nsewsboy rushed along-
side and offered the sale of a paper.
The successful business man had al-
ready read that particular edition and
to the lad’s insistent demands that he
“Please buy a, paper, mister," finally
replied rather tartly, “No, I said no."
The unabashed newsty came back
with, “Aw, don’t get grouchy, gover-
nor, the only difference between you
and me is that you’re making your
second million and I'm still working
on my first.”—Co-operatz've World.
